God-Slayer Hunter × Jager's Heirloom, the "Giant Medal" (4K)

I have witnessed the flames of Rengoku in Hell, and I have also struggled in the Human Realm, experiencing the coldness and warmth of human relationships and the vicissitudes of life, yet I have managed to keep that pitiful little fire in my heart burning...

In my dying years, I shed my mortal body and returned to the spirit world. A thousand years have passed, I have endured countless battles, commanded various Soul Reaper, and forged my own era... Looking back, I still cannot escape the cycle of time, and my spirit decays.

I'm not resigned to this... I'm not resigned to sinking into oblivion. I often ask myself... what is eternity? And how does one become...?

eternal"?

Until, I looked up and saw the sun.

"Whoosh..." Orange-red flames erupted, with a terrifying white center!

The heatwave scorched the air, creating distorted ripples...

Roy's slightly disheveled face gradually calmed down. He gripped his twin swords as if they were two suns, and under the astonished gazes of Beyond, Pariston, Netero, and Zeno, he calmly raised his swords and swept them horizontally.

A thin, crimson line lightly sliced along the blade...

It swept past the army of "Ghost-Head Spider" as silently as scissors cutting paper, slicing them in two.

"Boom!"

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then... the remaining nearly eight hundred "Ghost-Head Spider" simultaneously self-destructed!

The shockwave ripped up the ground and swept towards Roy, but before it could reach the Sun-Earring Boy, it was instantly melted by the flames of the burning twin swords!

"Phew~"

A few seconds later, the world finally fell silent.

The Sun-Earring Boy exhaled lightly, turned around gracefully, and sheathed his sword... He then vanished in a flash into the desolate wilderness.

[Hint: Life Energy +8]

At this moment, inside the barbecue restaurant at the entrance of the venue.

Netero and Zeno exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke immediately.

The "blade aura" overflowing with flames was clearly the result of the Sun-Earring Boy concentrating a large amount of "Nen Qi" onto the blade by Visualization the "sun"!

"I think I just heard someone say that my grandson couldn't hold on any longer,"

With his white hair swaying wildly, Zeno looked at Netero, a mocking smile playing on his lips, "So, have you held on yet?"

Nearly a thousand "Ghost-Head Spider" were One-Blade Cremation swoop, demonstrating not only their resilience but also Roy's immense hidden magnanimity! How could anyone say he couldn't hold on?

"Hehehe..." Netero feigned ignorance and didn't respond. What else could he say? Retort to Zeno? Criticize the child?

Netero isn't stupid!

The other person is participating in the "Hunter Exam." If they pass the test and obtain Hunter License, they will become a member of his Hunter Association in the future... The old man has plenty of opportunities to cultivate a relationship with the child.

I'll make him change his last name to Isaac sooner or later!

The Strongest Human secretly thinking...

"Clap clap clap..."

Applause echoed through the luxurious study.

The Kakin Empire.

Beyond in front of the giant television, watching the army of "Ghost-Head Spider" cleaved apart by Roy's single strike, the scene of carnage and fragmented limbs resembled a hellish Hell. He clapped his hands and exclaimed, "That's the old man's style back in the day!"

The same "domineering" attitude, the same "unreasonable" behavior...

The only difference is... one uses "fists and feet," and the other uses a "knife."

The man glanced at Pariston, the Sun-Earring Boy clamped his legs together, buried his head, and tried hard to suppress a moan. He frowned and said, "Keep it down."

"You're no match for him now, and going back to him won't do you any good."

"Hehehe... I know... I've always known..."

Pariston, both excited and pained, grinned grotesquely, his face contorted, "So, I told you to hold me down!"

"Roy Zoldyck, he's really awesome! I wish he had just stabbed me to death back then, so I wouldn't have had to suffer here..."

He understood... he understood everything. By Beyond looked out the window. At four o'clock in the afternoon, a huge ship was being built at the dock by the sea. It was By Beyond's only hope for the rest of his life.

Just like Roy Zoldyck is now, for Pariston... the Dark Continent is also a more permanent and unique dream Beyond's.

The most painful thing is to love someone you can't have. The old man wants to destroy his dream. He Beyond no choice but to destroy the old man, even though he is his father!

Zevil Island.

The aftershocks of the explosion dissipated...

Botobai, who was in the rear command post, was jolted and forced to sever his Nen Thread connection with the "Ghost-Head Spider" army.

The walkie-talkie Captain Yuke was holding started beeping continuously.

He immediately reported, "Report!"

"The suicide bombing squad has been killed. The enemy has not yet been eliminated. Request special operations team deployment!"

"No!" Botobai refused his Request outright.

He simply crossed his arms, looking directly at the Sun-Earring Boy through the camera, seemingly trying to comfort himself or explain to Captain Yuke, and said in a deep voice, "This is an exercise, not counter-terrorism. There's no need for the soldiers to make unnecessary sacrifices."

"Yes, sir!" Captain Yuke tapped his heel and gave a solemn salute to Botobai.

In an instant, at Botobai's will, his body transformed into Nen Flow that flowed back into Botobai's body through his brow.

After the man left, he waited quietly in the command post... Before long, the door to the underground command post was pushed open, and upon closer inspection, the Sun-Earring Boy was nowhere to be seen on the surveillance screen.

"Congratulations." Botobai turned around, seemingly knowing all along that the Sun-Earring Boy would find it, and looked intently at Roy:

That strike was amazing!

"It was a last resort," Roy said truthfully. "If there had been more spiders self-destructing, I wouldn't have been able to hold on."

The [Zanka no Tachi] imbued with the power of [Strong] was too strong; it eliminated the enemy with a single strike and nearly drained Roy himself dry.

In the future, it should be used with caution unless absolutely necessary.

"Regardless, you've finally made it this far." Botobai set aside his airs, extended his right hand to Roy, and solemnly said, "Roy Zoldyck... Congratulations, you've passed this season's Hunter Exam."

"Thank you." The two hands, one big and one small, clasped together. Roy looked earnestly at Botobai and said, "May I ask you a question?"

"You say."

The Sun-Earring Boy narrowed his eyes. "May I ask, how much of your strength did you demonstrate in the assessment just now?"

"Twenty percent."

Speaking bluntly, Botobai looked down at the Sun-Earring Boy and said, "I wasn't as good as you at your age, but you... are still too naive."

Roy nodded. "Thank you for telling me."

Botobai waved his hand dismissively. "Turn right after you go out, there's a small room about five kilometers away."

Go there and get your Hunter License.

"Alright," the Sun-Earring Boy turned to leave, but just before he stepped out the door, he suddenly heard Botobai call out to him, "Sun-Earring Boy, I look forward to your growth!"

Roy smiled, lifted his foot, and left.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew in, separating the two figures, one large and one small, inside and outside the door into two different worlds.

Botobai leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed, watching the Sun-Earring Boy leave. In a daze, he seemed to see that Sun-Earring Boy with the headscarf from before, just as young, just as Infinite of potential... truly enviable. "Knock... knock... knock..."

About ten minutes later.

Roy leisurely admired the unique landscape of the Zevil Island along the way. Hidden among the trees, he found a Small Wooden Cabin and knocked on the door.

"Enter."

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

Upon closer inspection, he saw Netero sitting behind a rough wooden table waiting for him. He glanced around but couldn't find his grandfather, Zeno.

"Don't bother looking anymore, he's gone."

Netero pointed to the chair in front of him. "Sit."

The Beans served him and Roy a cup of black tea each.

As the steam from the tea rose gently... Roy didn't stand on ceremony and sat down casually.

Then Netero winked at the Beans... "Beans, give him the license."

"Yes." The Beans cleared his throat, took out the Hunter License he had prepared beforehand, handed it over, and routinely read out the Hunter Association's regulations and precautions to each candidate who passed the Hunter Exam, namely the "Hunter Bylaws"!

"First, as Hunter, one must hunt a certain target."

"Secondly, as Hunter, one must learn at least the basics of Martial Arts."

"Third, those who have already obtained Hunter License will not have their license revoked for any reason. Similarly, the license will not be reissued for any reason."

"Four..

Roy took the license from the Beans and listened quietly. In his opinion, the so-called rules were not important. There was only one thing that mattered: strength!

Having "absolute power" not only allows one to disregard any rules, but also to create rules at will.

Just like Netero, because he is "the Strongest Human," the Hunter Association has a huge influence in the world... and is granted all sorts of privileges... and every time it "recruits," it attracts a large number of elites to sign up.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that over the years, the Hunter Association has indeed absorbed many outstanding talents, which has helped to support the organization and make it bigger and stronger.

For example, Gell... For example, Botobai... For example, Kim!

"10. All unresolved matters shall be decided by a council composed of the president, vice presidents, and advisors. Furthermore, the president has the right to elect the vice presidents and advisors."

After finishing the ten-point challenge, the Beans voluntarily stepped aside, leaving space for Roy and Netero.

The old man, with a fashionable topknot and earrings in his Buddha-like ears, took a sip of red tea and looked at Roy with a smile, saying, "Little Roy, you heard what happened just now. Would you be interested in being my advisor?"

Is he an "advisor" or a "toy" to keep you company when you're bored?

Roy doesn't deny that the future Zodiacs will hold a transcendent position within the Hunter Association, but this position also comes with responsibility, with "working," with "endless meetings," and with "a tangled web of backstabbing and complicated colleague relationships"...

The Sun-Earring Boy showed the back of his hand. Half a day had passed, and the mark reminded him that his lifespan had been shortened by nearly eight hours. So... without even thinking, he rejected Netero's suggestion, saying, "Save my life first."

Netero nodded, seemingly expecting Roy's answer. With a flick of his sleeve, he tossed over a "round object." Roy caught it with one hand and examined it closely. It looked like a "medal," with a human figure printed on the front and two crossed axes engraved on the back!

"These are your grandfather Jager's things. They're just gathering dust here. I might as well give them to you."

Roy picked it up and tossed it in his hand; the "medal" was quite heavy. Puzzled, he asked, "Does this thing have any special significance?"

Netero took a sip of tea. "He said this is the ' Knight Medal ' bestowed upon him by the Giant King Domir. With this, one can freely enter and leave the Giant's Palace without prior authorization, and does not have to bow to the king. It's extremely precious..."

The old man mimicked Jager's accent, chuckling, "Your grandfather was quite the boastful fellow back in the day. Whether it's true or not, I don't know. After all, I wasn't even in Doragon back then..."

Wait a minute... didn't Grandpa Jag go to the Dark Continent with Neteroline back then?

Did they get separated along the way?

However, not halfway... Netero, being an old and shrewd man, seemed to see through Roy's doubts and glanced at him, saying, "Your grandfather said you've already offered sacrifices to Jager, so you must have already seen that ' Sandworm '."

The old man said quietly, "Thanks to it, we were scattered from the very beginning..."

No wonder.

Roy thought of how that "Sandworm" could suppress people to the point of being unable to raise their heads simply by its [training] skills; he wondered what level of creature it was!

The Sun-Earring Boy pondered for a moment, then solemnly put away the "medal".

Seeing this, Netero put down his teacup, looked intently at the Sun-Earring Boy, and said, "Alright, let's get down to business... child."

What kind of Hunter do you want to be?

The first of the "Hunter Bylaws": A Hunter must hunt a certain target.

"Professional Hunter" are also divided into "professions" and "classes".

There are Bounty Hunter responsible for "arresting criminals," "Gourmet Hunter" who hunt for ingredients, "fantasy beast hunters" who collect all sorts of rare "Magic Beast," "Rare Beast," and "Phantom Beast Hunter," and "Ruins Hunter" similar to Jin who enjoy exploring ruins...

In life, one's energy is limited, and different paths lead to different fates.

Netero waited silently for the Sun-Earring Boy's answer.

Looking at his reflection through the black tea in his cup, Roy rubbed the mark on the back of his hand, calmly raising his head and saying, "It seems I have no choice but to slay a god and have some fun..."

"Let's go with ' God-Slayer Hunter '."

Beans:"

Listen to this, is this even reasonable? What do you mean by "slaying a god for fun"? Please... there's no such "profession" here.

"What, it's not okay?"

"Hehehe..." Netero laughed loudly, scattering a flock of birds perched on the roof of the wooden house. He squinted at Roy and said, "Okay!"

The old man's eyes gleamed as he recalled his conversation with the Sun-Earring Boy by the river the previous day. The boy, who was pursuing freedom, solemnly declared, "If that day ever comes and I am still alive, please let me be your witness!"

"Tick-tock... tick-tock..." The "Curse" was like a death knell, the countdown ticking away second by second...

Roy took the license, put it in his pocket, stood up, and went straight to open the door.

Hopefully, you won't have to wait too long.

"Bang!" The door slammed shut.

"Tap... tap..."

The sound of the Sun-Earring Boy's footsteps faded into the distance.

Netero, like Botobai, sat behind the table, watching the Sun-Earring Boy leave through the glass window, then tilted his head back and downed his cup of black tea in one gulp...

He exclaimed, "Good tea!"
